Welcome to another episode of Crossing the Chasm. Today I am joined by Saamah Abdallah, an internationally recognized expert on well-being. He worked for the New Economy Foundation, a London-based think tank, where he developed new ways to understand and measure well-being. That work contributed to the Happy Planet Index and other measures that are beginning to have policy implications. Saamah is currently working towards a PhD in Communication Science and lives in Eastern Germany. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

Crossing the Chasm with Saamah Abdallah

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people.  Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic.  Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it.  Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories.  This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.  

#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it.  Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated.  #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
